Our Giveaway Winner! And other news.

Congratulations to Sarah Evans (of Evian Design!),

the winner of our very first giveaway!

Sarah will be receiving a lovely package in the mail very soon, including, among other things, the featured vintage skirt and a $25 Miskabelle gift certificate!

Sarah has always been a fabulous supporter of our business--this is a clear case of good karma!

We chose the winner using the online Random Number Generator, assigning a number to each post (1-15) and the one additional tweet (16) for the contest.  Here's the screen shot, so you can see how it works (when you copy and paste, it always inputs 100, but we only did from 1-16, obviously):

 We're hoping to do some more fun giveaways in the future, so stay tuned! You could be a winner! (Well, if you're reading this, in our minds, you already are a winner.)

What else is new here at Miskabelle?  Well, A has moved back to Virginia, which means the sisters are (sadly) separated!  The good thing about this is that they now cover more ground, as far as thrift stores and face-to-face marketing goes.  Of course, planning photo shoots and posting sprees is a bit more difficult with three and a half hours between them.  Thank goodness for technology!  We're very excited about summer fashions (about SUMMER, in general!) and looking forward to more updates, giveaways, fun blogs, and vintage events.

That's all for now...more fun blogs (including a long-awaited RE-FASHION) coming your way in the next few days.

Stay gorgeous,
A

Wednesday Re-Fashion: One Piece, Two Ways + GIVEAWAY

Admittedly, we had another plan for this blog--but the sewing project didn't turn out exactly how we wanted, so in a stroke of genius, we decided to make something out of the other meaning of Re-Fashion:  to fashion again.  We took one vintage piece and styled it up two ways.

The purple paisley floral skirt has an elastic waistband and falls a few inches below the knee in length.

For the work look, we added a basic tank, black  biker jacket and black knotted wedges.

For the play look, we belted the skirt as a strapless dress and paired it with flat gladiators and layered necklaces for a low key bohemian touch.

We love pieces that are versatile, especially vintage pieces!  If you can't afford a whole new wardrobe, try being creative with what you have.  We've only styled this two ways, but there are many more options for a skirt like this.  How would you wear it?  Answer in the comments section and this skirt and a $25 Miskabelle gift certificate could be yours!  

We're excited to see what you come up with.  Giveaway will end next Wednesday, May 19th and winner will be announced on Thursday, May 20th.  Winner chosen at random from commenters (get a second entry if you RT the link on Twitter!).

Stay gorgeous,

A
